Poulton House is a simply delightful detached town house dating from the Queen Anne period, circa 1719, but added to later when it became the home of a Georgian merchant or gentleman farmer and his family.

The house is Listed Grade 2 and enjoys an exceptional position on Marlborough Street, little more than 150 yards from the Market Place and yet blessed with a large and beautifully maintained garden offering a degree of tranquillity and peace more usually associated with substantial homes deep in the countryside.

The whole house has been thoughtfully and meticulously maintained, refurbished and restored by the present owner, always with a keen eye for the authenticity of styles and materials.

The main reception rooms are of elegant proportions as expected of a house of Queen Anne origins with generous ceiling heights, sash windows and shutters. The kitchen, which has a fabulous large window looking south east over the pretty gardens is, as it should be, the very hub of the house-hold, a room in which to relax and share views as much as to prepare magnificent dinners.

The principal accommodation includes hall, drawing room, dining room, library/study, kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor and then three fine bedrooms on the first floor, one en-suite shower room and a family shower room while on the second floor there is a splendid fourth bedroom together with a magnificent bathroom of extravagant proportions.

Outside, the gardens, which have been professionally landscaped, lie to the south east of the house and have been divided by small yew hedges to create a number of intriguing and quite separate rooms, each with its own charm, style and character. These include herbaceous borders, rose beds, yew hedging, shrubs, an asparagus bed and fruit trees with a greenhouse to the rear.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a welcoming sun terrace, the perfect spot in which to sip on your cooling beverage in the heat of an English summer's day after a hard day's toil.

Attached to the house but approached from the garden there is a large stone barn offering very useful storage space and very possibly potential (subject to planning consent) for the creation of an annexe or studio.

There is a very smart and well kept double garage, with remote controlled up and over door, just about 80 yards from the front door of the house on a lane on the opposite side of the road.
